Asher Eder grew up as a Christian in Nazi Germany, was forced to join the Hitler Youth and eventually became a Luftwaffe fighter pilot.
After the war, he went on a spiritual journey which led him overland through Afghanistan and Pakistan to India — and eventually to Israel where he converted to Judaism, married a holocaust survivor and became a tour guide.

Every person and every living thing comes from the stream of life.
Every person comes from their parents, who come from their parents, who come from their parents, back, back, until the first parents – and even back further, until the first life.
Every person, animal and plant comes from the stream of life that has existed since the beginning of life.
You are in the stream of life. Your life force has existed since the beginning of life in an unbroken chain of birth and life, birth and life - an unbroken chain since the beginning of life.
When someone dies, it is a death in the stream of life. It is a death of a life force that has existed since the beginning of life. There is an unbroken chain of life since the beginning of life.
Not every life bears fruit, has children, continues the stream, yet the stream goes on as long as some people have children, as long as some life bears fruit. There is a stream of life.
All life is from an unbroken chain of life since the beginning of life.
All death is a termination of an unbroken chain of life since the beginning of life.
All birth is the continuation of an unbroken stream of life since the beginning of life.
